Scrumptious Sampler of Delicacies: Top 10 Food Gifts from the Lone Star State

Texas BBQ is world-renowned and is at the top of our Texas Foods list. Snow's BBQ from Lexington is named Texas Monthly's #1 BBQ in Texas and is my personal favorite. Ms. Toostie, Snow's pit master, is legendary for her mouthwatering brisket. I used to live a few minutes from Lexington and know firsthand what a treat the brisket is here. 

You can order Snow's beef brisket, texas-sized ribs, pork steaks, and turkey breast via Goldbelly.com and get it shipped to your door. 

Another central Texas favorite are kolaches from Weikel's Bakery in La Grange. These sweet and savory treats make a great food gift for any occasion. Kolaches are traditional Czech pastries that are usually filled with fruit or sausage. Weikel’s offers a wide variety of fruit kolaches ranging from apple to peach and strawberry cream cheese. My personal favorite is poppy seed followed by apple. 

Kolaches from Weikel's can be ordered through their website and shipped directly to your door or are available on Goldbelly.com 

Buc-ee's is an iconic Texas brand known for its country stores, gigantic gas stations, and clean restrooms. It's a favorite stop for many people on a road trip through the Lone Star State or just stopping to get gas. We stop every time we travel to Texas for beef jerky, sweet tea, and Beaver Nuggets (yum!). 

Now you can share the Buc-ee’s experience with your family and friends no matter where they are in the country. The Buc-ee's snack boxes from Beaver Bounty on Etsy includes everything from salty Beaver Nuggets to sweet treats like cinnamon almonds, Texas Trash Mix, various flavors of popcorn, honey-roasted peanuts and more! 

You can order from 4 different-sized snack boxes. 

Eileen's Praline Bars are a decadent treat handcrafted in Dallas, Texas. These rich and buttery bars are made with pecans, brown sugar, butter, and graham cracker. They come in an assortment of flavors including original praline, cayenne, cinnamon, and more. Choose a 3 bar pack or a decorative tin in the shape of Texas with 122 bars. 

C&J Farms Texas Honey Set is the perfect gift for honey lovers. They offer a variety of honeys and honey products from their family farm in North Texas. This set includes eight flavors of their gourmet raw wildflower honey. 

If you’re looking for authentic Tex-Mex flavors, then look no further than the beef tamales from Texas Tamale Company in Houston (shipping via Goldbelly). These are made with freshly ground beef and spices, wrapped in a corn husk and steamed to perfection. You can order them online and have them shipped to your door. 

Goode Company Barbeque Pecan Pie is a famous treat that originated in Houston. It’s made with tons of local Texas pecans, butter, and brown sugar, all mixed together and baked inside a flaky pie crust. 

It’s a must-try for anyone visiting Houston and now everyone can enjoy it at home with Brazos Bottom Pecan Pie from Goldbelly.

Texas is known across the world for its iconic shape, so why not incorporate it into your kitchen? The Texas-shaped cutting board from KreativeEarth on Etsy is made of solid hardwood and finished with food-safe mineral oil. It’s perfect for prepping meals or entertaining guests. 

This makes great themed gifts paired with favorite olive oils and pasta for a pasta gift, or pair with a cheese cutter, an assortment of cheeses, and a Whole Foods gift card (because Whole Foods started in the Austin area) for the ultimate Texas gift. 

This gift basket from TexasFood Gifts on Etsy is all about bringing the Texas heat to your kitchen. This basket includes an assortment of delicious snacks and spicy condiments like barbecue sauces, hot sauce, salsa, habanero pralines, reaper pickles, and dry seasonings. 

Also, this Etsy shop has a great assortment of Texas gift baskets available to suit every budget.

For a unique and delicious treat, try CowboyUp Chocolates from San Angelo, Texas. They offer a variety of handmade chocolate goodies including this Saddlebag Sampler or their signature handmade boot-shaped chocolates.
